| In 1970 the company founder Herbert Kannegiesser was struck by a serious illness which led him to assign the company management to his son Martin, 27 years old at that time, who became the company owner after the early death of his father in 1974. His mother Irma remained active in the company until 1980 and has continued to take part in it with a great deal of interest and commitment ever since. |

| The internationalization of the company was consequently continued and the product ranges enlarged. |
| Again and again Kannegiesser devoted itself to the concept of complete system solutions. This approach started in 1978 with the so-called garment lines with their core machine, the tunnel finisher. Kannegiesser was able to gaining an unrivalled leading position in Europe in this sector. |
